xp sucks ❌ win2000 is the best option on m$ softwares (or win98). ---

yeah I run win98SE. One of the most stable OS out there… 2000 is pretty good too. ME was crap. XP pro can be good if you treat it right, but if I could get 98SE for free…why would I pay extra for XP? especially when I hate the way it looks… ---

omg I love XP. Ive gone through them all and XP is by far the best. At work Im constantly bouncing around on 6+ machines with Mac OS 9 (YACK) Mac OS X (decent, love the move to bsd, but still lacks), Windows 95 (basic setup so I cant complain), Windows 2000 (quirky) and WinXP (no problems at all). The XP is what Im on now and the one I prefer to be on most, and its a ‘testing’ machine - a bottom of the line HP. It has no problems and hasnt crashed on me yet. Needless to say each and everyone of the others have. 2000 probably less though it still fs up with some programs at times. OS X isnt THAT stable - at least not when you actually have to do _real_ work on it. And well os9 and below just blows. Dont get me wrong, I absolutely hate M$ but Im gonna have to stick to my belief that XP is the best os theyve released. Across 3 seperately configured machines (including this one) Ive had absolutely no problems with it. Im surprised to see so many other people not liking it. And those whom Ive know who have similar feelings usually do so out of ignorance and through the ‘M$ influence’ (not to imply anyone here to be similar as Im in no position to make that judgement). weird :-\ ---

XP home? or PRO? Home is trash in my opinion. It locked up and crashed on me, from Day 1. Pro is really good and very stable in most respects… I like pro, but I like the layout and the usability of 98 better. I have been using it for almost 5 years now…I better know it inside and out… ---

:run: 😱 :bounce: Yeah… Windows Xp Pro is alot more stable but I’ve worked with Home as well and have had 0 problems with it… I still like my 98/SE at home better… BUTTT… This is what they want so this is what I’m going to give them… You know what I mean?! They are paying me enough to do this soo… =) I’m gonna do it… and every hour is another $30 in my pocket… _lol_ Peace Out ---

both. current computer (work tester) is home my personal computers (2 that have xp) are pro my brother has home - no problems there (even when I visit and screw w/ it) my mothers 2 most recent computers (old and current) were/are 98SE. They crash all the time. The one shes using now will lock up after being on for about a day. I had similar problems with my 98/98SE (on two different machines - including one that has pro now w/o a hitch). … Id throw in my grandfathers computer in the lot too but he has so much crap on that thing (the system tray consumes half the taskbar on loadup) that it deserves to crash (and does - 98SE) old people :sigh: 😉 ---

Mdipi: When I went to design school, they were using OS8 on PowerMac 250’s w/32M RAM… Try opening Photoshop, Dreamweaver and have the OS running… I dare you… They had to be the slowest computers I have ever worked on… In a Graphics Design School… 😉 Rev ![](http://www.aulman.com/rev.gif) ---

Compaired to my old ME this is like a Rolls-Royce…i love it and would only trade it for Pro…but i wouldnt mind OS X too…(but if i get to keep my XP too) \*\* yeah Im actually fairly impressed with OS X. Im not an apple fan but this was a nice move and opens up a lot to what Apple can become. For as ‘young’ as it is (being an apple os at least) Im pleased. The hardware needs to get cooking to be able to handle it as well as it should, and there are some little nuiances which can drive you wild (like making a new folder). But all in all its a decent system. Im not too fond of the dock - wasnt much of a NeXT fan either. But its a needed Apple taskbar. A floating ASM just didnt cut it for me in 9 and below, though I still use the ASM in X 😉 I might splurge and get myself a new powerbook heh. Thats one thing Apple has going for it is style. The backlit keyboard made me cream my pants. Ok not really but it was funny to see that one guys reaction in the movie they have at the apple website showing the new powerbooks off. but yeah, XP still holds the throne. And thats my opinion. (not fact :beam: ) ---
